Applying geoscience to Australia's most important challenges

Abstract

This digital data package comprises all available 1:100 000 scale first edition and unpublished preliminary geological maps
of the Mount Isa Inlier, Murphy Tectonic Ridge, South Nicholson Basin and southern McArthur Basin. It also includes parts
of the Mount Drummond and Lawn Hill 1:250 000 sheets which have not been mapped at 1:100 000 scale. The complete data set
covers 19 full, 5 combined and 4 part 100,000 scale map sheets. As a unique legend has been developed for the whole area the
individual sheets can be joined into a full seamless coverage. All faults within this area have been coded uniquely to facilitate
metallogenic analysis. The data, currently version 2.1, can either be purchased as individual 1:100 000 sheet areas in either
MapInfo or Arcinfo/Arcview formats. For Arcview, unique legends have been created for the geology layers of each individual
dataset, uniform across the whole of the Mount Isa dataset.
